Luck By Chance by Ashim

Sorry I am late!!! I am late to watch DevD, which I shall watch this Tuesday and shall post the review by Wednesday. As far as ‘Luck-By Chance’ goes, I think one should just feel ‘lucky’ if you get a ticket of ‘Luck by chance’ because it is surely a ticket to die for!!! What a film! It is a movie you can blindly recommend. It is strong both in style and content, and unlike most films of late, doesn’t slothfully compensate one for the other. Zoya cajoles outstanding performances from every actor in the movie.

Film does not show or reveal the under belly of ‘Bollywood’!! Instead it is behind the scene quirks of our glamorous phillum industry. Being Bollywood buff is enough to make you applaud, laugh and grin. It pictures the good, the bad and the ugly side of the industry and yet keeps your love intact for it. Also it makes you understand and sympathize with the characters in LUCK BY CHANCE.

The protagonists Farhan and Konkona are both top notch!! The movie revolves around them and they do complete justice to their roles. Farhan plays a character of aspirant actor who’s got a burning ambition to be successful. Konkona tries to do whatever it takes, to make it big. The hallmark scene would be when Farhan talks to Konkona when she is grieving over her failure. Hats off to remarkable dialogues by papa Akhtar!! Not only in this particular scene but his dialogues touch your heart. Be it philosophy or extremely witty one-liners.

Other significant scenes are Sourabh Shukla’s ham, Rishi Kapoor breaking down, Farhan charming the gorgeous Dimple Kapadia, Hritik’s in his car (where he is shown to be different from common people), Dimple’s Recalling her yester years, Hritik and K. Jo’s discussion, Farhan’s trick to make the opponent over confident, Shahrukh Khan’s conversation with Farhan and last scene with Konkona which moves you!
The script is slow yet perfect!! The story couldn’t have been told better! Shankar Ehsaan Loy could have surely done better. The best part is that Hritik, Amir, Shahrukh and tons of other stars are not just there for the star value but they lend spice to the film and go in sync with the script!! Just don’t miss this joyride!!
